On Debian 10, pdwtags reliably segfaults when parsing the libvirt remote protocol files. This crash was previously ignored by 'make check' because of the way we piped the pdwtags output to the perl post-processing scripts. When this was converted to use python it mistakenly started being a fatal error. We need to explicitly ignore pdwtags output if it exited with non-zero return code. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
